How Can We Begin To Understand The Bad People In The World ?
Is There Hope?
For why would someone want to harm someone else?
For no reason
I can't wrap my head around it
My wife reminds me that it is a good thing
That means you are not one of those people
There are so many things in the world to do
That are pleasing and fun
Why go down that rabbit hole?
It can't be avoided
As much as we try
It is the white elephant in the room
I for one will try with my last breath
To make each day a little better than before
In some small way
So that trickle effect might continue
Ever so slightly
In any direction and time it sees fit
Then I can say
I have lived a beautiful life
As we watch the sadness and tragedies around the world take place
We feel helpless and alone
Hurt and angry
Sad and uneasy
These are all feelings I don't like
I have been reminded for years
This is life
I quickly respond back
Not my life
But in the back of my mind
I know it is somebody's life
That somebody could one day be me
I keep trying and want to believe
If we focus on good
Only good will come
That is partly true
Even in the bad
We can find good
That will remind us that there is more good in life than bad
Let us pray
For a good day
Let us start small
A lovely smile
A laugh
Simple things with a quick outcome
Then as the day progresses
Let us expand on what we have
Good thoughts can soon develope
A feeling of joy
A sensation of well being
The gratitude of being alive
As we look around us
We see people not much different than ourselves
Working and breathing
We might not know them
We may never know them
It is safe to say
They do exist
Now let's go a little farther
We all have families
We all have friends
If we put together these special people in our lives
We have groups of people
These groups of people have their own families and friends
As we expand
We cover the whole world
No one is left out
If we can focus on sharing that love
That beautiful love
In any way we can see fit
If it is as simple as a hello
Good morning or good afternoon
Even late into the night with a Good night
How blessed are we
To live this life
I don't have a solution to all the problems in the world
I do have love
i do have a love so strong and amazing
It doesn't ever quit
I keep on learning it grows if I do nothing at all
It has a will of its own
It is not only for me
But for everyone to enjoy
We all can enjoy love at the same time
There is enough for the whole world to experience
Yet nobody talks about it
Is it the oldest, best kept secret
Well the secret is out
So I spilled the beans
Once one person knows
Everyone will know
I can't take it back
As hard as I try
Will you please forget what I told you?
It wasn't up to me to tell anyone
I made the biggest mistake of my life
Now everyone will be happy
All at the same time
I feel some what responsible
Maybe just maybe it would happen adventually
But now I speeded things up
People are going to continue to be happy
Forever
Life will never be the same again
I can't think of anything else
I try to put it out of my mind
The love just keeps on coming back
What will I do
Love one more person
Then another
They will love one person
Then another
The cycle will go on to eternity
What have I done
This could be the worst morning ever
My mother use to say if you have nothing good to say
Say nothing at all
I knew I should of slept late
My brother was right
Don't go putting stuff on the Internet
Once it is out there
It can never be taken back
No matter how hard we try
Someone
Some where
Will find it
Send it again and again
Life is hopeless
My father would say if you see bad in other people
We have but to look at ourselves first
Love will always exist and continue to thrive
As much as I tried to stop it
I have turned bad and didn't even know it
I guess I will have to learn to live with it
A world filled with endless love
